'ol Carl gets his say about my antics

I took the Myers-Briggs Personality test, from Isabel Myers (1897-1980) and her mother, Katharine Cook Briggs (1875-1968), that my friend Leon had posted in his blog http://leoquix.blogspot.com/ and I've taken this test before, with mixed results, however it was probably not as well done as the one on this site.

If one is not a M/Briggs Geek, or at least a fan of Carl Jung, it's not that interesting, which I understand if that is the case.

BUT PLEASE BEAR WITH ME, because anyone who knows me I think will enjoy the later sections!

Btw, if you ARE interested, here's the results for me:

About the ENTP
Expert Quotes & Links

"ENTPs are idea people. Their perceptive abilities cause them to see possibilities everywhere. They get excited and enthusiastic about their ideas, and are able to spread their enthusiasm to others. In this way, they get the support that they need to fulfill their visions"
- Portrait of an ENTP (The Personality Page)

"It is so natural for these individuals to practice devising gadgets and mechanisms, that they start doing it even as young children. And they get such a kick out of it that they really never stop exercising their inventive bent"
- The Portrait of the Inventor Rational (Keirsey)

"ENTPs are usually verbally as well as cerebrally quick, and generally love to argue--both for its own sake, and to show off their often-impressive skills... argument as a sport."
- ENTP Profile (TypeLogic)

"ENTPs contribute an innovative, versatile, and enterprising approach to work. They view limitations as challenges to be overcome and look for new ways to do things. They need to find a niche for themselves in order to be free to maneuver. They prefer the start-up phase of a project rather than the followthrough or maintenance phase. Once the project is designed, they prefer to turn it over to someone else."
- ENTP - The Innovator (Lifexplore)

"...attention seeking, experience junky, insensitive, adaptable, not easily offended, messy, carefree, dangerous, fearless, careless..."
- Jung Type Descriptions (ENTP) (similarminds.com)

...and this is fascinating
